Eclipse

Allow me to criticize? Using a drone to photograph the eclipse is a bad idea... Any smartphone with a telephoto lens will do a much better job, any camera will do a much better job.
Here's an example of a typical partial eclipse photo, without a telephoto lens

A telephoto lens is very necessary for this type of photography. Here is my example of shooting a total lunar eclipse

The zoom was the main problem. Worked, at least.

My Mini 4 took a different direction on capturing the eclipse!

Tilt up to see the eclipse. You can also see Venus and Jupiter!

Duly noted, next time I'll lash a phone to the drone
